"We are not trying to entertain the critics. I'll take my chances with the public"

Walt Disney was a visionary and a pioneer in the show business. He was a company follower in the power of the public to identify the success of an item. With this quote, he is revealing his confidence in the general public's capability to acknowledge and value his work, rather than relying on the opinions of critics. He is saying that he is not attempting to please the critics, but rather he is willing to take the danger of putting his exercise there and relying on that the public will react positively. He was a risk-taker and a follower in the power of the people. He understood that if he might record the hearts and minds of the general public, he would achieve success. He was right, and his tradition resides on today.
